This report provides revenue, revenue growth statistics and analysis for
the telecommunications market by major service between 2000 and 2012, as
well as market forecasts for 2013. The total telecoms service market is
segmented according to telecommunications service - local access, mobile
and broadband revenues.

Detailed revenue and forecasting statistics and analyses are also
included separately for the wholesale, mobile and broadband markets,
with estimates for 2012/13. Public Switched Telephone Network revenues
(fixed-line voice and local access) still continue on a downward spiral
for all the telcos and will continue that way until uptake of NBN
services is complete. In the long term fixed broadband on the copper
network will also decrease as fibre and fixed-wireless broadband
services become the norm towards 2020.

Meanwhile the mobile broadband market is fast becoming a major income
revenue stream for the providers, having taken over the mobile voice
sector. But increased usage has caused data traffic jams on the 3G
networks as the infrastructure was not designed for the rapid increase
of traffic over the last couple of years.

The release of 4G/LTE mobile broadband and increased uptake by consumers
and businesses will certainly ease the issue in the short term, but as
user uptake increases so will the amount of bandwidth consumed. Mobile
data usage increased by nearly 80% year-on-year to mid-2012 with nearly
seven terabytes downloaded over the air in a three-month period.
